Born Wild Podcast Sophia Henderson and Lea Ritter

PODCAST EPISODE - REBEKAH WHEELER - TRAUMA HEALING #98

Join your host Sophia as she interviews Rebekah Wheeler, CNM working in the hospital based setting. They discuss the difference in care between hospital and home birth, how hospitals can be slow to change outdated policies, evidence based verse experience based informed consent, perinatal mental health, sanctuary trauma, uterine massage, birth control, and transport from home to hospital.

Rebekah Wheeler is a Certified Nurse-Midwife, an educator, and an expert in birth trauma prevention and treatment. She has worked as a birth professional for almost 20 years, during which she has learned a lot about what helps support people to feel pride and a sense of accomplishment after giving birth, no matter how labor goes. She became a Perinatal Mental Health and Birth Trauma expert after seeing how little support there is out there to help people heal from difficult birth experiences. She offers birth trauma healing sessions virtually to clients anywhere, and in-person in the Bay area.

PODCAST EPISODE - KELLI MOORE - NAVIGATING THE MEDICAL SYSTEM - #97

Join your host Sophia as she interviews Kelli Moore, CEO and Co-Founder of Soulfire Productions, Host of the top-rated podcast: The Naked Mama, and Co-Host of the beloved relationships podcast, OK, Babe. They discuss topics that include IVF, prodromal labor, back labor, Leep procedures and cervical scarring, hemorrhage, cranial sacral, tongue-tie, retained placenta, postpartum mood disorders, sleep regression, and navigating fear, intuition, and the medical system.

Kelli has been the good girl, the people pleaser, and she's followed all the rules. She worked for years in a male-dominated sports television industry, only to deal with 15 years of chronic illness and finally reach her breaking point. Today, she pours her heart and soul into helping women set themselves free from expectations and the stories that hold them hostage in their own lives. She asks us all to seek deeper within and become the version of ourselves we've kept buried for so long. If you are ready to be challenged, think outside the box, and finally see yourself clearly, Kelli is here for a radically honest conversation to support you and your audience.
